Song Lyrics

"The Saltwater Room feat Breanne Duren"

by Owl City
Album: Ocean Eyes (Deluxe Edition)

I opened my eyes last night and saw you in the low light
Walking down by the bay, on the shore,
Staring up at the planes that aren't there anymore
I was feeling the night grow old and you were looking so cold
Like an introvert,
I drew my over shirt, around my arms and began to shiver violently
Before you happened to look and see the tunnels all around me
Running into the dark, underground
All the subways around create a great sound
To my motion fatigue, farewell
With your ear to a seashell
You can hear the waves in underwater caves
As if you actually were inside a saltwater room

Chorus:
Girl: (Time together is just never quite enough)
Boy: When you and I are alone, I've never felt so at home
Girl: (What will it take to make or break this hint of love')
Both: We need time, only time
Girl: (When we're apart whatever are you thinking of')
Boy: If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone
Girl: (So tell me darling do you wish we'd fall in love')
Both: All the time, all the time.

Can you believe that the crew has gone, and wouldn't let me sign on'
All my islands have sunk in the deep,
So I can hardly relax or even oversleep
I feel as if I were home, some nights, when we count all the ship lights
I guess I'll never know why sparrows love the snow
We'll turn off all of the lights and set this ballroom aglow
(So tell me darling do you wish we'd fall in love)
(All the time)

Chorus:
Girl: (Time together is just never quite enough)
Boy: When you and I are alone, I've never felt so at home
Girl: (What will it take to make or break this hint of love')
Both: We need time, only time
Girl: (When we're apart whatever are you thinking of')
Boy: If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone'
Girl: (So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love')
Both: All the time, all the time

Girl: (Time together is just never quite enough)
(When we're apart whatever are you thinking of')
(What will it take to make or break this hint of love')
(So tell me darling do you wish we'd fall in love)
(All the time)
